Email Post Email Post

Update: Kathleen Nelson of Stltoday.com is reporting that the St louis Rams WR Laurent Robinson has been added to the injury report with a foot injury. His status for Sunday has not been announced

Fantasy Impact: Laurent Robinson was a big preseason sleeper but Mark Clayton has become the number one WR. If there are better options available its fine to drop Robinson at this point.

Email Post Email Post

Update: David White of the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that the San Francisco 49ers might have to start rookie ILB NaVorro Bowman for the injured ILB Takeo Spikes. Spike is suffered a knee contusion in last week's game. Spikes status is still uncertain for Sunday but it looks like wont play. Bowman is the only other ILB on the 49ers beside Patrick Willis.

Fantasy Impact: Bowman played well last week in the second half filling in for Spikes. Bowman will be tested this week facing the Chiefs since they will run it. The 49ers defense is still a strong play this week even if Spikes is out.

Update: Update: Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic is reporting that the Arizona Cardinals WR Early Doucet is planning to return to action on October 24. Doucet is currently walking a mile day and will start jogging next week. Doucet had surgery to fix a sports hernia.

Fantasy Impact: Doucet should not be on your fantasy roster because he is still 5 weeks away from even playing. He is also only the 3rd WR on the Cardinals.

Update: Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic is reporting that the Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells practiced in pads for the first time on Wednesday. Wells said,” Definitely, without a doubt" regarding to if he will play on Sunday. Wells has been out since the final preseason game with a bruised knee.

Fantasy Impact: It looks Wells will play on Sunday. It is still undetermined though how much he will play. If you have another starting RB you feel comfortable starting then continue to bench Wells. Start Wells over Tim Hightower if both are playing. This might be the last chance to buy low on Wells.



Vikings Sign Baskett

Email Post Email Post

Update: Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Tribune is reporting that the Minnesota Vikings have signed free agent WR Hank Baskett to a 1-year deal.

Fantasy Impact: This move is for depth as Harvin is recovering from a hip injury and Berrian has a knee injury. Harvin and Berrian's status for Sunday's game has not been announced yet. Basket could find himself as high as number 3 on the Vikings depth chart behind Greg Camarillo and Greg Lewis. Baskett is not considered fantasy worthy yet.

This matchup is actually brought to you by “Nebraska not being in the Big Ten yet.” But you can eliminate these lopsided meetings for your favorite team in the Big Ten starting in 2011 and beyond!

Batch will start for Steelers

Email Post Email Post

Update: ESPN.com is reporting that Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin named QB Charlie Batch as the starter for the team's week three game againt the . Batch was behind Ben Roethlisberger, Byron Leftwich, and Dennis Dixon on the team's depth chart, but now he remains as the team's only available QB ready to play. Roethlisberger is serving a suspension, Leftwich is out indefinately with a knee injury, and Dixon will miss six weeks with a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact: The Steelers are 2-0 in Big Ben's absence, so it doesn't seem like their QB is much of a concern. Don't expect Batch to put up big numbers, but if the Steelers defense plays like they did against the Tennessee Titans last week, it's safe to assume a win.

Ryan to Jets: stop embarassing the organization

Email Post Email Post

Update: ESPN.com is reporting that New York Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan addressed the team Wednesday and told the players to stop embarassing the organization. Apparently the latest incident with the DWI arrest of WR Braylon Edwards is what set him over the edge.

Fantasy Impact: Ryan looks like he's had enough with players getting into trouble off the field. First the profanity in "Hard Knocks" was under scrutiny and players whistling at a female reporter in the locker room. WR Santonio Holmes is currently serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
